Stocks Quarterly Balance Sheet

This dataset includes quarterly balance sheet data for various stocks.

342,800 rows over 6,893 symbols, 39 columns, covering 1983-06-30 to 2026-06-30. Refreshed monthly.

Strategies Built on This Data

1,067 papers in the Papers With Backtest catalogue declare this dataset as an input. 1,012 of them have been coded and run over their own full history. The median replicated Sharpe ratio is +0.27, and 37% clear a t-statistic of 1.96 on their own sample, against 48% across all 4,837 replications in the library.

Some of the strongest results that lean on it:

A Sharpe ratio quoted without its t-statistic hides how much of the library cannot be distinguished from zero, which is why both are shown. The figures are in-sample over each strategy's own window and carry no transaction costs.

Why It Matters

This dataset strengthens fundamental equity research and risk controls by:

  • Fundamental factors: Balance sheet strength (liquidity, leverage, book value) feeds value and quality signals.
  • Credit risk monitoring: Track leverage and coverage trends to flag deteriorating issuers.
  • Event studies: Quarterly cadence aligns with earnings seasons and 10-Q releases.

What This Data Does Not Cover

No filing date. The only timestamp here is date, the fiscal period end. A US filer has up to forty-five days after the quarter closes to file, and restatements arrive later still, so a signal keyed on date uses numbers that were not public on that date. Stocks-Quarterly-Earnings carries reported_date, the announcement date, and joins on symbol and date; lagging by a quarter is the cruder alternative.

As reported now, not as reported then. Each period appears once and carries the current figure, so a restated quarter shows the restatement rather than what the market saw.
